In this paper, we propose an adaptive face region detection and real-time face identification algorithm using face feature evaluation function. The proposed algorithm can detect exact face region adaptively by using skin color information for races as well as intensity and elliptical masking method. And also, it improves face recognition efficiency using geometrical face feature and geometric evaluation function between features. The proposed algorithm can be used for the development of biometric and security system areas. In the experiment, the superiority of the proposed method has been tested using real image, the proposed algorithm shows more improved recognition efficiency as well as face region detection efficiency than conventional method.

A face recognition algorithm for the user identification procedure of automatic teller machine(ATM), as an application of the still image processing techniques is proposed in this paper. In the proposed algorithm, face recognition techniques, especially, face region detection, eye and mouth detection schemes, which can distinguish abnormal faces from normal faces, are proposed. We define normal face, which is acceptable, as a face without sunglasses or a mask, and abnormal face, which is non-acceptable, as that wearing both, or either one of them. The proposed face recognition algorithm is composed of three stages: the face region detection stage, the preprocessing stage for facial feature detection and the eye and mouth detection stage. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can distinguish abnormal faces from normal faces accurately from restrictive sample images.

Face detection is essential to the full automation of face image processing application system such as face recognition, facial expression recognition, age estimation and gender identification. It is found that local image features which includes Haar-like, LBP, and MCT and the Adaboost algorithm for classifier combination are very effective for real time face detection. In this paper, we present a face detection method using local pixel direction code(PDC) feature and lookup table classifiers. The proposed PDC feature is much more effective to dectect the faces than the existing local binary structural features such as MCT and LBP. We found that our method's classification rate as well as detection rate under equal false positive rate are higher than conventional one.

COVID-19 is a crisis with numerous casualties. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the use of masks as an essential safety measure during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, whether or not to wear a mask is an important issue when entering and exiting public places and institutions. However, this makes face recognition a very difficult task because certain parts of the face are hidden. As a result, face identification and identity verification in the access system became difficult. In this paper, we propose a system that can detect masked face using transfer learning of Yolov5s and recognize the user using transfer learning of Facenet. Transfer learning preforms by changing the learning rate, epoch, and batch size, their results are evaluated, and the best model is selected as representative model. It has been confirmed that the proposed model is good at detecting masked face and masked face recognition.

This paper describes a method for detecting the pupil region and identification of the eye status for driver drowsiness detection system. This program detects a driver's face and eyes using viola-jones face detection algorithm and extracts the pupil area by utilizing mean values of each row and column on the eye area. The proposed method uses binary images and the number of black pixels to identify the eye status. Experimental results showed that the accuracy of classification eye status(open/close) was above 90%.

This study proposed a robust detection algorithm. It detects face more stably with respect to changes in light and rotation for the identification of a face shape. Also it satisfies both efficiency of calculation and the function of detection. The algorithm proposed segmented the face area through pre-processing using a face shape as input information in an environment with a single camera and then identified the shape using a Self Organized Feature Map(SOFM). However, as it is not easy to exactly recognize a face area which is sensitive to light, it has a large degree of freedom, and there is a large error bound, to enhance the identification rate, rotation information on the face shape was made into a database and then a principal component analysis was conducted. Also, as there were fewer calculations due to the fewer dimensions, the time for real-time identification could be decreased.

Nowadays, eyes detection is required and considered as the most important step in several applications, such as eye tracking, face identification and recognition, facial expression analysis and iris detection. This paper presents the eyes detection in facial images using Harris corner detection. Firstly, Haar-like features for face detection is used to detect a face region in an image. To separate the region of the eyes from a whole face region, the projection function is applied in this paper. At the last step, Harris corner detection is used to detect the eyes location. In experimental results, the eyes location on both grayscale and color facial images were detected accurately and effectively.

Biometrics is essential for person identification because of its uniqueness from each individuals. Face recognition technology has advantage over other biometrics because of its convenience and non-intrusive characteristics. In this paper, we will present a overview of face recognition technology including face detection, feature extraction, and face recognition system. For face detection, we will describe template based method and face component based approach. PCA and LDA approach will be discussed for feature extraction, and nearest neighbor classifiers -will be covered for matching. Large database and the standardized performance evaluation methodology is essential in order to support state-of-the-art face recognition system. Also, 3D based face recognition technology is the key solution for the pose, lighting and expression variations in many applications.

Recently face detection has actively been researched due to its wide range of applications, such as personal identification and security systems. In this paper, a new face detection method based on the distribution map is proposed. Face-like regions are first extracted by applying the skin color map with the frequency to a color image and then, possible eye regions are determined by using the pupil color distribution map within the face-like regions. This enables the reduction of space for finding facial features. Eye candidates are detected by means of a template matching method using weighted window, which utilizes the correlation values of the luminance component and chrominance components as feature vectors. Finally, a cost function for mouth detection and location information between the facial features are applied to each pair of the eye candidates for face detection. Experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve a high performance.
